Lack Kernel – Minimal Pluggable Core

Minimal state–memory kernel that measures how internal coherence degrades under stochastic perturbation (lack). 100 ensemble runs confirm a strict monotonic relationship: higher lack → lower coherence. Part of the IPM framework. Includes code. No ontology. Use as a plug‑and‑play stability meter in games, robots, AI agents, or distributed across sensors and UI layers. For Φ*, collective regimes, and inverted‑U dynamics, see the full IPM Scientific Core.
